"What's going on here?"
After sending off Xu Qinghu, Ji Ying couldn't shake the feeling that something was off.
In just three days, Xu Qinghu had already come over twice, each time sitting at their home, chatting with Ji Ying about everyday matters, never talking about anything else, and leaving with a bright smile.
What is she really up to?
With all these doubts swirling inside her, Ji Ying got busy again. It was chili pepper season now, and every year, the Xu Family would plant lots of chilies—some to dry and make into dried chili peppers, and some simply made into chili sauce.
Sometimes, when there wasn't much to eat, chili sauce could be a lifesaver. Just mixing chili sauce with rice, one could easily scarf down two bowls.
"Mom, we're back." Xu Nianhua and Xu Nian'an, the brother and sister, had sold out all the mung bean jelly, and at the same time, brought home some spare ribs.
"You're back!"
